“President George Washington, Vice President John Adams, and Speaker of the House Frederick Muhlenberg signed the 1790 census act, March 1, 1790.”
Census Day was August 2, 1790. | The first census began more than a year after the inauguration of President Washington and shortly before the second session of the first Congress ended. Congress assigned responsibility for the 1790 census to the marshals of the U.S. judicial districts under an act which, with minor modifications and extensions, governed census taking through 1840. The law required that every household be visited, that completed census schedules be posted in “two of the most public places within [each jurisdiction], there to remain for the inspection of all concerned … ‘and that the aggregate amount of each description of persons’ for every district be transmitted to the president.” – US Census Bureau

OPINION: This tune keeps ringing each time we think about the idiot-in-chief’s negotiation tactics (with a word change: intimidation in place or anticipation) Sorry, Carly.

“US population more educated than ever before,” because education consists of getting a piece of paper as a participation trophy. Too bad the headline writer was never educated. On par with most.
So you think the spelling and grammar we see at facebook and social media are outputs of “certificates of participation?”
Language evolves; I’m more troubled by the thought process (or lack) behind the posts.
You think that critical thinking is a lost skill set, too? This 2,500 year old concept of critical thought mostly isn’t taught much today in this country.

Just spent two fantastic days at the Corning museum; looking forward to reading these articles.
So let’s hook up and drink ‘till closing time at the Turkey Hill; what a great atmosphere. Maybe they’ll have Keno and slots soon too.
God damn the legislature that made this stuff happen. PA is a joke; a very bad joke.
Whoops, should’ve been posted to Friday’s news.
Yeah, it’s a brave new “revenue raising world” isn’t it!?
The folks we elect to send to Harrisburg seem to think that sin taxes will prevail and generate the funds that will pay for an expensive legislature and other expenditures.
We’ll see how that works out and what comes next? Legalizing marijuana, prostitution, more?
